Make sure you have enough gas in the tank, because Avignon is worth making a detour for. Situated 35 miles from Taulignan, it boasts some terrific attractions, such as Palais des Papes and Place de l’Horloge. Nothing says living big like a road trip does, so keep on driving to Nîmes. It’s 50 miles away and also offers a few attractive sights, such as Maison Carree and Nîmes Museum of Natural History and Prehistory.
